It's interesting when you compare this version (and Etta James or Tom Jones) with the original Randy Newman version. Whilst the former comes off like a raunchy love song the latter is sung by a creepy sexual bully. (his words)
It just goes to show what a difference the singer makes.

273kelvin replies on Mar 28, 2020:
@Marionville Both have merit but for different reasons. Yes, the raunchy versions are great as straight get-it-on songs. But Randy writes songs in the first-person and some of those people are not very nice. It is the dark shadows of our psyche that he casts light upon.
That`s why I like him.

273kelvin replies on Mar 26, 2020:
@IrishTxJudy It is the lag inherently involved with any measures. Rather like a huge oil tanker, it takes time for results to show. So if a full lockdown reduces the infection rate down to say 5%. But before that, the rate was 55%. Then for 2 weeks, you will see an increase in infections and deaths will rise for many more weeks.

Like many Americans, you have no idea what is socialist and what is not. Did you go to a private school? drive only on toll roads? have a private fire service? All economies are a mixture of socialist and capitalist systems. None can function without some elements of both. It has been the history of industrial nations to move closer to socialist ideas rather than laissez-faire capitalism. That kind of thinking belongs to the 19th century
The best resource of any country is its people. Is your govt investing in this or is it only bothered about the top 1%? Remind me who did Trump put in charge of YOUR children's education and has he been spending more or less? On balance, which way would you think would make America great?

@Silver1wun "The peoples will" in this case is rather a moot point considering the popular vote. But let's leave that for now. Trump has been far from Churchillian in this crisis. His natural approach of divide and insult is not what your (or any other) country needs.
When asked a perfectly reasonable softball question "What would you say to Americans who are frightened at this time?". Instead of remaining calm and collected (which is what his answer should have been). He threw a tantrum!

There is nothing subjective about "We have a few cases, not many. These will probably be down to 5 maybe none in a few days?". And where we are now.
Again nothing subjective about "We have tests for everyone that needs one" and the reality of the situation.
It is one thing to lie to the nation when "all" that is at stake is the election or impeachment. It is quite another to lie when people's lives are on the line.
At times like these, a nation needs to be able to trust their leader. That includes ALL the nation, not just a fan base.

273kelvin replies on Mar 19, 2020:
Maybe now but it is too little too late. The countries that have gotten ahead of this have done best.
China, after initially being complacent tested isolated extensively and reports say no new cases today.
I predict that other countries will see results quicker. Italy and S. Korea obviously because they got it early but also locked-down early too. Mainland Europe and Ireland next, with the UK later. The US will be slow to beat this because a, They have tested late (Trump refused the WHO testing kits) and locked-down late b, The private health system, and c, The logistics and individualistic nature of its population.
Even with this unprecedented global crisis, Trump cannot resist electioneering and casual racism. He has not put into power anyone with great ability in your govt depts. Instead, they are populated with yes men. Not the best way to deal with a crisis. In times like this, you really need people that tell you when you're wrong.
I watched his briefing today and he spent an inordinate amount of time talking about some US guy he got freed from Syria. If he had any real good news to impart about the most pressing matter in hand, do you think he would do this?

Actually Cuomo hadn't been a favorite of mine, but I will say he is stepping up front and becoming a leader in this crisis!

Maybe now but it is too little too late. The countries that have gotten ahead of this have done best.
China, after initially being complacent tested isolated extensively and reports say no new cases today.
I predict that other countries will see results quicker. Italy and S. Korea obviously because they got it early but also locked-down early too. Mainland Europe and Ireland next, with the UK later. The US will be slow to beat this because a, They have tested late (Trump refused the WHO testing kits) and locked-down late b, The private health system, and c, The logistics and individualistic nature of its population.

@Paddypereira Call into a small store and pay him upfront. Introduce yourself and make a friend. Ask him to hold some bread etc. for you till tomorrow or when he gets some. Then remember that "friend" when things get better.

273kelvin replies on Mar 18, 2020:
That 99.9 is a legal kind of agnostic thing. If you want to see a species that no one has ever seen before? Look at some dirt through a microscope. You will see some bacteria and there are millions perhaps billions of types of them. So many that no one knows them all. Consequently, a liquid cleaner like bleach or hand sanitizer cannot say that it kills all germs because we don't know all of the germs. Just all the ones it kills.

Valve amps again give you a warmer more rounded sound and we still have those higher maths conditions previously mentioned.
However, solid-state is more flexible. I have a guitar amp (solid-state) that can recreate the sound of any of the popular amps you want, from a Vox A-30 to a Marshall 100. Something as simple as a graphic equalizer would take an enormous amount of equipment to produce in analog. Then you would also have problems in switches with dust etc.

@Marionville Frankly it is amazing that they have worked together for so well and so long. If you look at their discography it spans 3 decades or more. I think it is only Dave's bad health that is stopping then now.

There were a lot of contributing factors to that relationship. Firstly Ray had 8 older sisters and was spoilt rotten as the only boy, then Dave came... Add to that it seems that they had different fathers.
Ray put it this way; "You have your family and siblings. Normally that means you see them on Christmas and holidays, the odd special occasion. Imagine working with them and living on tour?"

@RoboGraham I suppose that we have more faith in the impartiality of our judiciary because it is not elected. It is very separate from the executive. Of the 2nd cases that have been brought, there has not been one occasion that has resulted in a not-guilty verdict. We are talking about evidence so stong that would normally be accompanied by a guilty plea

How it works in the UK is, only when there is overwhelming evidence of guilt. Usually, it would be DNA or some scientific forensic evidence that was not available at the time of the 1st trial. The prosecution must make a watertight case before it would be considered.

Firstly, I doubt very much if you would ever commit murder or rape which is the only cases I am aware that this has been used for in the UK.
Secondly, if by any unfortunate circumstance one of your family was a victim of such a miscarriage of justice. I also doubt that you might be as adamant. Even without any personal involvement and the victims are strangers, there should be a case for justice.
I know it is in the constitution but that does not automatically make it right (sorry).

@demifeministgal Online dating is a bit like job hunting. You might end up spending 20 years of your life there or just a few weeks. Profiles are CVs, texts are applications and coffee dates are interviews. In my experience, endless texts are a waste of time. If I am not interesting enough to meet after a few days then chances are it won't happen at all.
This does not mean that I want to rush headlong into bed or romance with every woman I contact. Only that if (and that is a big if) there is a chance of romance then it will come from a natural conversation and not via texts. That said "If it should be done. Then it be best done quickly". That way a true assessment can be made and both parties can either move on or take their time to really get to know each other.

I have to admit it did sound funny but not from your perspective.
It kinda reminded me of two occasions with my daughter.
The first happened in a designer cake shop. It was a big fancy type of place and had been showcased on national TV. Right in the aisle was a huge four-tier wedding cake standing on a small table. The kind of accident waiting to happen that makes everyone cautious around it. You guessed it. My 13-year-old girl manages to tip it over, sending the tiers rolling around the shop and tears rolling down her cheeks. But it really was so dammed funny I could not help myself from laughing. We apologized to the shop owner and left hurriedly. She crying and me smirking. Only when outside did I tell her that all kids are that clumsy at her age. That her body had grown a bit quicker than her brain can handle and these things are inevitable. I then went on to tell her of some of the clutz things I did at her age and the sobs lessened somewhat.
The second time was when we were in a Chinese restaurant for lunch. She has to use the bathroom but was absent for a very long time. Eventually, her mom went to investigate and found her howling/banging at a locked cubical door that she cannot open. Again much mirth ensued
Not quite the same as being headbutted by deer but for a 13-year-old girl, that kind of embarrassment can be really painful. It took a few years and only very gentle ribbing but she can now laugh about them.

@GipsyOfNewSpain Quite correct, the history of early New South Wales is fascinating. It would be akin to the 2nd manned expedition to Mars, populated by inmates from Sing-Sing.
If only we had thought to privatize the prisons and turn them into an industry?

Well, England was England long before the reformation. Firstly we were murdering other English and Vikings, that unified the country. Then we murdered the Welsh, after that the Irish. With a few run-ins with the Scots and French along the way.
There is a cave in Scotland where over 200 Babtist men, women, and children were burned to death by Presbatirians

@Marionville Maccas latest album wasn't bad. Some good songs that new bands would love to have written. Plus he can still sing.
I walked way from Jimmy Cliff at a festival because he could no longer hit the high notes. I want to remember him at his best or somewhere close to it.

@Marionville It's nice to have that breadth of material. Robert Plant is a good example. For many years he refused to do any Zep at all. Only recently has he decided that he can bring it out but only because he can add something new to the tunes.

I heard an interview with Ry Cooder where he was asked how come he did so many different things. He said "Not having a hit record helps, You can be tied to that sucker for 40 years"
The worst-case though was Van Morrison. He came on for the 1st half and played his new album. The audience was polite etc. but obviously wanted to hear some old stuff like "Brown-eyed girl". He came on in the 2nd half and said: "Now I am gonna play something that you've all heard before". The applause resounded around the room until he played his new album again.

I have seen them a few times but it also brings me on to the topic. I first became aware of them walking across a festival field and hearing part of "Dub side of the moon". This treatment of a very familiar tune stopped me in my tracks and drew me to the stage. It would not have had the same effect if I had downloaded their works first.
